Construction techniques: Welt pocket, french seam side pockets, collar with neck facing, full sleeve, elasticated waistband, mock fell seams, topstitching details and optional zip fastening.

Suitable fabrics: When choosing your fabric for the Jesse Jumpsuit you need to consider a few things. It should be very comfortable and breathable to wear as it covers your whole body (not itchy or scratchy). It’s a nice idea to choose natural fibres to allow your body to breath and the shape of this pattern benefits from having a fabric that is soft and supple with a bit of drape.

Suitable fabrics include light/medium denim, light/medium twill, light weight canvas, needlecord, wool suiting, linen (beware as linen will crease heavily).

Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.

Construction techniques: Zip fly construction with flat binding finishing, one-piece waistband, flat felled seam, patch pockets & ankle cuff construction or hem.

Suitable fabrics: The Daphne Trouser works very well in structured heavy to mid weight twills, drills, denims and canvas fabrics. Tougher fabrics will give you a closer fit to the body (although before starting check you can easily sew through 5 layers of the fabric) and lighter twills and denims are lovely in the summer as the lighter weight fabrics will give you a slightly looser fit.

Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
